i think -- we've had very little recent time where we've sort of had a normal political environment on foreign policy because we had the cold war and then september 11. but i think the best we got for where foreign policy is going to sit in american politics was the period from 1990 to 2001 where it was not salient. you can see that in the way conservatives talk now about the obama foreign policies. they try to find points to sort of harp on where the president is seen as weak. i think that's behind the obsession with the benghazi attack. i think there was also a very telling statement from marco rubio about syria, when the president was waffling about whether we were going to intervene this and rubio took up a position where he wasn't sure if he was for or against an attack in syria but he was against whatever the president was for.

these businesses are operating in an extremely competitive environment. this morning we are releasing xm's bank competitor report. in 1999, just 15 years ago, nearly 100% of export credit financing globally was done within an agreed upon framework and it was transparent. as this report shows it is down to one-third and it continues to drop. in other words, two-thirds of all official government support for exports today is opaque and unregulated. countries like china and russia frequently engage in market distorting financing that threatens u.s. workers and their jobs. this is deeply concerning to me and should be to every american worker. u.s. businesses are not competing against chinese companies on a level playing field. they are competing against china, inc. in 1999, official chinese financing was almost non-existent. today it is rwell over $100 billion, dwarfing what xm bank does. south korea, an economy less than one-tenth or size, now finances $100 billion, nearly four times the $27 billion that we financed last year. other ecas such as south korea
